Home Maintenance

Regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming expensive repairs. Use these guides to stay on top of your home's needs.

Monthly Tasks

Regular maintenance items that take minutes but prevent expensive problems.

Seasonal Guide

Spring, summer, fall, and winter maintenance checklists to keep your home in top shape.

Home Systems

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, foundation — lifespans, maintenance intervals, and warning signs.

Emergency Prep

Know your shutoff locations, emergency contacts, and what to do when things go wrong.

The 1% Rule

Budget roughly 1% of your home's value per year for maintenance and repairs. On a $350,000 home, that's $3,500/year or ~$290/month. Older homes may need 2-3%.
